For a conference that took place last month, the USPTO listed the following hotels on its own website:

As a test, I plugged in the ES address into Mapquest, and got this:

There are three Hilton chains with in walking to the PTO. Alexandria Hilton, and Embassy Suites and a Hampton Inn. The Hilton and ES are very nice.
Just an FYI if traveling to the PTO over the next few months that that the Zacarias Moissaoui penatly phase trial is going on at the Cournt House right across from the PTO and parking is very limited.

The Embassy Suites is right next to the BearingPoint offices and practically across the street from PTO. The Hilton is next to the metro and a 3 minute walk to PTO tops.

Old Town Alexandria is lovely and not too long a walk away.

I would think that to be the Morrison House. Small botique hotel.

I have never stayed there, but they have an excellent restaurant that I have been to on several occasions.
